How to use Vendor Vetting and verification bot ?

Run via n8n: This template is triggered by the "Verify service providers" workflow when a user sends a query like "Is [Company] in [City] legit?".
Provide Input: Map the Provider Name and Location extracted by the AI agent to the template's input fields.
Output: The template returns a combined JSON report of the business's online reputation and legal standing.
Next Steps: An AI agent analyzes this data to generate a "Verified" or "Unverified" verdict report for Telegram.

Why scrape Vendor Sites ?

Risk Mitigation: Avoid hiring ghost contractors or businesses with a history of poor service.
Due Diligence: Instantly check if a company is legally registered before signing contracts.
Speed: Replace 15 minutes of manual Googling with a single chat command.

This template is a dependency for the n8n workflow: Verify service providers using Telegram and BrowserAct. It is critical for the "Human verification" step—if a CAPTCHA is hit, this template pauses and waits for user intervention.
